Lesson

Reversing or making a U-turn on a motorway is prohibited.

Do not enter a level crossing while the barriers are moving.

If you miss a motorway exit, continue to the next exit.

In a tunnel fire, leave the vehicle and use the marked emergency escape route if safe.

The emergency lane is not an extra lane for avoiding traffic jams.
